An explanatory wheel of commonly found cannabinoids (and their thought effects) that exist naturally in the cannabis plant. Cannabinoids work with our body's Endocannabinoid System (ECS) to help provide support to the system. Our ECS works as a checks and balances system to help maintain homeostasis.
Affecting everything from sleep, cell generation, hormone regulation, immunity, etc. Over 120 different cannabinoids have been identified thus far, all having their own impact on different parts of the ECS system.
Some cannabinoids bind to the receptors, which are located all over the CNS, organs, and peripheral system; others like CBD seem to block the receptors. This allows our body to better use our systems and endocannabinoids more effectively. CBD vs. CBG - both CBD (cannabidiol) and CBG (cannabigerol) are both known for their neuro-protection, analgesic properties, and their antioxidant nature , when combined they show strong anti-Inflammatory benefits. CBG research shows antibacterial, antidepressant and antibacterial qualities.
Delta-8 is a hemp derived cannabidiol that is created when CBD is reheated, the molecule changes slightly under the heat, affecting the way it binds to the ECS receptors. Allowing Delta-8 to be a psychoactive Cannabinoid, unlike CBD. Delta-8 is also known for strong anti-nausea, anti-anxiety, pain relief, and neuro-protective effects.
